Mod Cut with Chinese knife
Course duration: 84 min.
A practical course on texturizing medium-length hair
Miłosz Mikołajczak presents his original method for creating a modern MOD hairstyle using a Chinese knife as the main tool. The course focuses on practical salon techniques that will allow you to perform a complete service in 35 minutes.
Basics and advanced techniques of Chinese knife work
The basics of working with Chinese scissors – you will learn safe cutting techniques, hair tension control, and two main texturizing methods: sliding through the hair and cutting into strands to reduce density.
Planning and executing a MOD hairstyle – from strategic head divisions to final details. You will learn the technique of lines at the nape of the neck (0° angle), flat layers on the sides, and pivot separations for even distribution of hair mass.
Adaptation to the client's anatomy – especially for long faces, where the MOD hairstyle perfectly compresses the proportions with irregular bangs and hair volume transferred to the forehead.
